Hello Philip,
Im glad to see you posting on this one!!! and especially glad for the perspective and fascinating material you always include! I hadn't thought of the possibility of decoration having been lost off this example, especially in light of the very ornate Mughal example that appears in Haider.
Do you agree with the Pant discussion on the jamadhar term? He seems to present good evidence, but of course since the term katar has become commonly used it would seem counterproductive to try to revise it.

All best regards,
Jim
